    Hi guys,

    if you have any ideas on how to improve ready go's please share them :)

    Why doesn't  WGT just have an RG at every course for the front 9, back 9 and Full 18. Then Change the conditions and entry fees every week. That way there will be more options for everyone.

    Just a thought

    I want them to be as exciting as they were for me, when I stood on 18th with my heard pounding cause I know if I make this birdie, bollox is going down!

    -wgticon

    More verity, more stake choices for 9 and 18 holed rounds(100/200/300/500/1000/2000)  mix up the greenspeed (and i dont mean sneaking TM greens in)

    Top 10 payout only ones, maybe even equipment restrictions for 1 a day eg start ball or clubs, more courses at the moment as a tour legend theres no bethpage theres no cabo and only 1 at oak (TL only) thats 18 holer and takes about 3 weeks to fill, theres only the B9's of kia and RSG no best of famous

    Change them weekly what we have now is a utter borefest no idea whos job it is to choose settings and change them but they need a kick up the *** no offence but its damn true

    id love to see the courses change more often, change the setup weekly and as FJ said above, atleast one 500c 9-holer, and say one 100c 18-holer, rest should be atleast from 300c up to 2k

    If you make all the RGs higher cost you will only get the same top players in them. Everyone else will stop playing. For the guys that don't shoot 54's the lower cost ones are a chance to compete. If the 100 & 50 credit ones bore you, THEN DON"T play them. leave them for us peasants.

    I understand your point but what we're saying is there isn't enough higher stakes one's to play (only 1). If there was more then we would leave the 100cr one's alone for the "peasants" as you say.

    Hey Kriztjan,

    in that case no lower tier has the opportunity to play more than one RG, I think. Don't forget the lower tiers with lower earnings, Kriztjan! ;-)

    I'm a Tour Legend, but I'm not playing the 1.000-RGs, because I don't have a chance to get back more then half of the fee. You need at least a 58/59 to get back your fee on the St. Andrews-1.000-RG, that's 14/13 under Par! :-o I only have a chance at a very good day ... but 1.000 credits are to much for me to risk.

    We have 10 courses in the moment. Why not creating 10 RGs for every course and everyone, changing every month between 18 holes, Front 9 and Back 9 and conditions.

    Additionally 5 RGs for the tiers. For Legends and Tour Legends the minimum fee could be at least 200 credits, let's say one for 200, one for 300, two for 500 and one for 1.000. For lower tiers the fees could be lower, but there should be at least one tournament with higher fee.

    And the fees for the 10 courses for all: 2 courses with a fee of 50, 4 courses with a fee of 100, 2 course with a fee of 200, ever one course with a fee of 300, 500 and 1.000.

    I think that should be fair for everyone. :-)

    Best regards,

    Robbie

    P.S.: I'm no fan of 2.000-RGs ... that's to expensive and to risky for me ... ;-)

    P.P.S.: Btw ... I think, it's time that the wind conditions are nearly the same for every player in one RG. At heavy wind e.g. at St. Andrews you only have a chance, if you have good wind conditions, just take a look at St. Andrews #17 with 31mph right into the face ... That's more gambling then skill ... ;-)
